Trump: “I will roll back every gun safety provision passed by President Biden if I win” The Republican Party has made America unsafe. They’re not pro-life, they’re pro-murder.

This was not like the Parkland shooting. The FBI did follow up. The shooter and father were interviewed and investigated. The father did acknowledge having guns for "hunting." What do you do when the local but tragically inadequate local laws were followed and Dads AR 15 was

Greg Sargent⁩’s necessary piece on the urgent need for journos to treat Trump’s severe cognitive decline and deep character flaws as an urgent, ongoing news story. (This isn’t the first time he has said this; hope it’s the last he needs to.) newrepublic.com/article/185622…

This is a VERY important study (free to read). Authors find Christian nationalist statements by US Senators predict instances of actual physical violence by self-professed Christians against religious minorities in their state. Holds w/numerous controls & robustness checks. 1/2
